I haven't thought much of Jillian Michaels since I read an interview wher she said she would never consider being pregnant because she was afraid of the damage to her body. Seriously biatch? If YOU can't get your body back after a pregnancy, there is no hope for any of us.

Never seen the show, but I did do one of her workout videos once out of sheer curiosity. She wasn't a shrieking hellcat or whatever, but I did kind of like her brand of mild abuse more than the usual "you're doing great!!" schtick most workout leaders do.

Her multimillion-dollar career is based on her being extremely fit. Pregnancy could damage that. Also, she's a lesbian and has a partner who can carry the child. She's a biatch for other reasons, but not this one.

I think she used to be not in shape, and it takes a lot for her to look like that. She's getting older, and might not snap back as quickly. Or might, but why gamble since her partner can carry it?

The woman owns a Desmo, which makes her way cooler than most celebrities. She can actually ride it, which just makes her even cooler. As for her being "mean" to the contestants, that's her job. She wants to see them succeed, not be their BFF.

To be fair, these are people without any willpower whatsoever, evidenced by the fact that they can only lose weight by going on a nationally televised show and embarrassing the crap out of themselves. Most people join a gym or find some other form of regular exercise and watch what they eat to lose weight. It's hard to feel any sympathy for someone who sees what she does on TV and still signs themselves up for it.

Watching her rail those fatties in submission last nite was the highlight of my weekend. I was particularly perturbed by the fatass that almost killed his kid in a car crash, promised him he would be less of fatass, and was bounced on the first night.

LandOfChocolate:The hiatus turned her into ended, and she resumed her persona as a a fire breathing hellcat of mammoth proportions.

When was she anything but?

I respect her results but my wife can't help but have her therapist side come out when seeing her abuse those poor, fat f*cks.

This makes sense; all in all, though, if she's that much of a mean person maybe it is best that she not have kids. I mean, how could a child raised by a wealthy, famous, unavailable, mean-spirited person NOT turn out super well-adjusted?

Actually she has medical problems that would make it very hard for her to get pregnant without a lot of hormone injections, it wasn't about her being unable to lose the weight. She could probably do that by just shouting at herself in the mirror everyday.

Hormone problems? As in,' too much testosterone because she's really a man' problems?

fozziewazzi:Haven't seen the show. So how much of the drama do you think is contrived?

They really are getting the crap beat out of them, and these are broken people to begin with. I doubt the line to real drama is hard to cross.

Last season they had some really big ego issues with the contestants that (I think) almost took down the show. I think they need to slap these people around more, not only for health reasons but to keep the production of the show on track.

I found her hilarious as she would go off on the contestants and then almost wretch when she saw them eat hamburgers or whatever. She might be good at making people lose weight in a controlled environment, but she sucks at addressing the reality that it is OK to have shiatty food. She seems stuck on this good food/bad food mentality and not "Hit you damn macros and either eat at deficit, maintenance, or surplus depending on your goal". She's busy bullying people who have poor body image and lifestyle and eating habits all while failing to address her own body image and eat disorder.

She has PCOS and can't carry a child without a lot of medical intervention.Also there is new evidence that PSOC might be hereditary so she's saving the next generation from getting it.I can respect her for that.

/Has PCOS//Has pretty much cured it through crossfit and a strict low-carb diet

Maybe that's why the show is so popular. It's the only reality show where the drama is not super contrived. The people on the show have spent most of their lives being morbidly obese and they have real issues that have kept them that way even though they know it will kill them.
